answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/09/2016 answer text <p>Her Majesty’s Government is satisfied that we are not in breach of our international obligations. A licence will not be issued, to Saudi Arabia or any other destination, if to do so would be inconsistent with any provision of the Consolidated EU and National Arms Export Licensing Criteria. The position is kept under constant review as each licence application is considered carefully on a case-by-case basis but there are no plans to commission a further review of the export of UK arms to Saudi Arabia.</p> answering member constituency Wyre Forest answering member printed Mark Garnier question first answered 15/09/2016 10:01:56 answering member 4074 label Biography information for Mark Garnier
